According to an arrest report filed Friday for James R. Meeks, age 38, Dianna Drive, deputies were unable to locate the driver the night of the accident but found Meeks on Friday.

Meeks said he was riding the ATV on the train tracks when it became stuck. He told deputies he jumped off of the four-wheeler before the train hit it but could not get the ATV off the tracks.

In conflicting accounts, he said he hid for a long time because he was scared he would get in trouble and saw deputies walk by. Later, he said he walked home and didn't think about telling anyone about the train wreck.
